I can relate to your remarks on 66 and 86 series tractor and tire equipment some of them came with. My 1066 came with a very wide 15" front tire and 18.4 x 38 rears. I have complained on YT on numerous ocasions on matter of duals being very hard on wide front, especially turning under heavy draft. I don't think those wide 15" tires helped maters either. I had a lot of front end breakage on 1066 and it never had a loader. I always cussed those wee wide front tires and between that and duals front end took a lot of punishment. I always said that if I ever bought another 100 hp plus tractor it would be 4x4 with rear duals. I think the larger tires of the 4x4 front plus fact on heavy draft they would be pulling. I think the tractor would be much easier on itself and indeed the front end. Having said that, if I were not doing pto work, I would go right to the articulated tractor. If your going to run 200 or more hp no point in having hassel of a steering front end. In fact in this age I can't understand why we don't see articulated tractors down to 100 hp mark. If I were strictly cash cropping corn, beans and wheat as many are today, I would be looking for an articulated 125 hp tractor and not hydrostatic. The only reason I see anymore for buying a conventional tractor is if a substancial portion of work is pto work. I can see a couple of 150 hp 4x4 tractors right from my window. I don't think they have ever had a yoke on their pto shafts.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
